  1. ACL Injury (Anterior Cruciate Ligament)-  Common in sports like football or basketball, it happens during sudden stops, pivots, or changes in direction.

Treatment: Rest, bracing, physiotherapy; severe cases may need arthroscopic reconstruction surgery.

  1. PCL Injury (Posterior Cruciate Ligament)- Often due to a direct blow to the front of the knee (like hitting a dashboard in a car crash or a fall on a bent knee).

Treatment: Mild injuries may heal with rest and rehab; serious tears may require surgery.

  1. MCL Injury (Medial Collateral Ligament)- Usually from a blow to the outer side of the knee, pushing it inward unnaturally.

Treatment: Bracing and physiotherapy; rarely needs surgery unless combined with other ligament injuries.

  1. LCL Injury (Lateral Collateral Ligament)- Caused by a force that pushes the knee outward, stressing the outer ligament.

Treatment: Depends on severity from RICE and physiotherapy to surgery for complete tears.

  1. Ankle Ligament Sprain (e.g., ATFL Tear)- Happens when the foot twists inward suddenly, like during a misstep or awkward landing.

Treatment: RICE method, ankle support, and strengthening exercises; chronic instability may need surgical repair.
